Lord Alf Dubs on why the UK Government must scrap the #RwandaBill 🔥

I absolutely bloody loved Amnesty UK session on Human Rights and poverty with the inspirational, warm and wise Kerry Hudson FRSL. The clarity with which she set out the challenges people face in their everyday rights and our role in amplifying ppls stories and helping them…

What a ridiculous honour it was to speak at the *force of nature* that is Jen Jen. Please *please* check out their vital domestic work on poverty here: amnesty.org.uk/before-our-eyes

.Matt Downie demonstrated #criminaljusticebill is another symptom of government tackling inequality and social injustice through siloed policy. Left had does not understand right hand. If Health, Housing, welfare and Justice ministers aren’t working together homelessness…

This is maddening. The Bill literally does the things the Minister is saying she doesn’t want to happen. Has she read it?

Why are we wasting time on this nonsense? We could be working together to provide homes, support, jobs…

BREAKING

Child poverty has risen *again*.

4.3 million children are living in poverty.

In a general election year, nothing should be more important to our political leaders than making things better for the country’s poorest kids.

Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty.

Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.

🚨BREAKING: MPs have just overturned all of the Lords’ amendments to the Rwanda Bill.

The rights of refugees in the UK are crumbling before our eyes.

This Bill is immoral, undermines human rights protections and the rule of law.

It must be scrapped now.
